How do I answer these mental health questions when joining the Marines?

Question by Jacob: How do I answer these mental health questions when joining the Marines?
When I was 15 my parents admitted me to a mental hospital due to behavioral issues, I stayed at this hospital for two days with no mental diagnosis. My predicament now is that i’m trying to join the marines and I am worried that that would show up at meps, should I lie about this ordeal and hope they don’t see this on my record or should I tell the truth and hope they do not deny me. Any insight would help thanks.
These are the questions I have to answer honestly,
1.Seen a psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker, counselor or other professional for any reason (inpatient or outpatient) including counseling or treatment for school, adjustment, family, marriage or any other problem, to include depression, or treatment for alcohol, drug or substance abuse
2.Any illnesses, surgery, or hospitalization not listed above

I cannot stress this enough….ANSWER HONESTLY!! Lol. If its there, they will find it. Considering you were not diagnosed it should not be a problem. If it happens to be a problem, explain the situation to your recruiter and they may be able to get you a waiver. But I honestly don’t think it’ll be a problem
